Re: Veritas (Symantec) Netbackup Client On OpenVMS

better late than never...
have been using VERITAS NetBackup OpenVMS Client V5.0MP2 for some months now in test phase and even done the odd restore every now and again. Still need to do some more qualifying tests; among others on the soon to be introduced ODS5. Disks are kept in shape with DFU so didn't encounter yet the problems with heavily fragmented files.
And I still keep the good old VMS backup in place for the time being....

Re: Veritas (Symantec) Netbackup Client On OpenVMS

Dirk,
Take care with MP2 and ODS5 file names.
We tested with this and had problems restoring mixed case file name.
Veritas gave us MP3 as a fix to this.
This however had the exquota error when securing very gragmented files. They have put a fix for this into MP5 beta1. However this has a bug with IP ports. Will run up on a test sandpit box ..boot test ...but will not run up on a busy test server with several ip ports allocated. Other versions all work fine. So passed MP5 beta1 back to veritas to fix issue.
I have been told they have a limited engineering team that works on the OpenVMS client ( 1 engineer). However fixes are always very quick to come back, when we find an issue. So cant complain.

Check out the latest release notes for details of fixes in the various MPx releases.
